Colours take on a variety of functions in our everyday lives. The perception of the world, nature, things and all artefacts "in colour" seems self-evident to us. Colours are systematised, catalogued and traded as material means.
Things and non-things. Things in abundance. Things that no one needs. Things that have become old. Things that are broken. Things that don't please. Things en masse. Things that nobody wants. Do you have things that you don't use? Things that you find terrible? Things that are broken? A thing with which you associate a story? Or a thing that is too beautiful to throw away?
Idling refers to the operation of a system or machine without it doing the work for which it is intended. When does an activity make sense? Is idling a reset? a cure? a pause? What happens during the idle time?
The students approached the design through different parameters: For one, the starting point was movement, for another the material, for a third the form or even the target group, and for the last the function. Courage! and laziness! are terms that the various objects proudly trumpet to their future users.
On the design of everyday life: As part of the design project "I (discover) the table", eleven students of the subject Design: Technology.Textiles asked themselves questions about eating together. How do I eat? What do I eat? Where do I eat? With what do I eat? With whom do I eat? And how do the others eat?
Students of the master's project Textiles in Motion at the University Mozarteum Salzburg first dealt with their location in the city of Salzburg, the city in which they moved every day. The question arose as to their very personal 'favourite places' within the city.
